THE SILK UMBRELLA,


If you are the possessor of silk un-
brella and are DESTROYS of spprising its
merits, see what proportion the spread
of it when open bears to the diameter
when shut. To the extent the relation
partakes of the nature of an inverse
ratio, to that extent is your umbrella 8
good one. Folding up silk umbrella
is quite an art, the acquisition of which
seems wholly impossible to some people.
You should gather the tips firmly to-
gether in your right hand, elevate your
umbrella to an angle of forty-fve
degrees with the trunk of the body;
then commencing at the bottom, with
your left hand gather the folds OF the
umbrella rapidly together, working all
the while toward the top. When you
have got SIS far as the confning band,
stop. adjust it, and your umbrella is
folded. A folded silk umbrella which has
s'brights" in it or measures more than
two inches in diameter is fraud, or
else its owner does not possess the
knack of folding it up properly.
In the case of Ashantee the umbrella
has figured as trophy, the great sun
shade of King Coffee being all the Brit
ish have to show for their waste OF
blood and treasure in equatorial Africa.
The material, hue and p oise OF an um.
brella are so many criterIa OF respeGta-
bility. a man may deceive with his
hat often, with his gloves seldom, but
with his umbrella never. It is an I'M
erring test of character, passport to
gentility, and nobody is quicker TO rec
ognize the ring of the true metal IN
another or to detect the pretentions OF
the spurious ones than the true gen
tleman himself San Francisco Chron1-

such circumstances, and from doing any
thing to carry into effect an act of the
Legislature invalidating said coupons for
tax-paying purposes. Attorney General
Ayers and other state officers disregarded
this order and proceeded with their suits,
whereupon they were fined $500 apiece and
sent to jail.
The imprisoned officers sued ont writ of
habeas corpus, and, when the matter was
brought before the federal supreme court,
an order was issued for the discharge of the
petitioners. The reasoning of the court
was very elaborate, but its substance may be
stated in a very few lines. Judge Bond
proceeded upon the theory that the actions
in question against the state officers of the
state did not amount to suits against the
state, a form of redress forbidden under the
eleventh amendment to the constitution.
The supreme court, however, was clear in
opinion that these suits really amounted to
an attempt TO do in an indirect manner
what the law forbade being done directly.
The courts decision was eminently sound
and just. The Virginia officers were not in
any sense parties to the contracts sought to
be enforced against them. The state was
the true defendant, and the officers were
merely obeying orders and discharging their
duty
For the comfort Of Judge Bond and those
agreeing with him the court said that if a
state officer under the color of state laws
should come in conflict with the superior
authority and valid laws of the United
States he would be stripped of his repre-
sentative character and would have to meet
the consequences of his conduct. Alto
gether the decision is a strong blow against
federal Capitalization, and it Will give en-
couragement to the upholders of the rights
of the states.

The Nerroes In the North.

The negro in the north appears to be
giving our republican friends a good
deal of embarrassment. In the state
of Minnesota the negroes have issued a call
for mass meeting for the purpose of or
ganizng colored mans league ''for the
protection of their civil rights, and also to
secure political recognition"
VIII our colored friends In Georgia be
kind enough to consider the nature of this
call and TO take it in its meaning2 Here
are the negroes in a strong republican state
at the north calling q convention in order
to protect their civil rights and to secure po-
litical recognition.
Was the like of this ever heard of before?
The negroes in a strong republican state of
the north compelled to assemble together in
mass meeting to protect their civil rights
and TO secure political recognition Why,
this is something terrific. Where is Edi-
tor Halstead with his double-barreled multi
fication of the constitution? Where is the
cadaverous John Sherman with his Liza
Pinkston tonic, one dose of which is cacu-
lated to give negro life, liberty and free
dom?
Really, we are of the opinion that the re-
public has been turned upside-down. In
Georgia the negroes have political recogni-
ton and civil rights; but in great repub-
lican state of the north they are deprived of
both. This fact ought to be used as a cam
paign document by the republican orators
who are 10 be sent south next year.

The snntl,,s soIl,liiY.

General Neal Dow, the most prominent of
the prohibition leaders, has been interviewed
on the part that prohibition is playing in ma
tional politics. He is emphatic in his belief
that the wedge that will split the solid south
has been found and that this section, now
united in its political action, win fall to
pieces, in discord arising out Of the agita-
tion of the prohibition question.
1t will be remembered that General Neal
Dow comes from the rankest of republican
states and that while he is even politically a
prohibitonist, he herds with an element
which has for its chief object the disruption
of the political solidity of the south. This
is the one object OF the republican party
and in accomplishing ii, is its only salvation.
1t has tried by every means possible to break
II and even went so far, to accomplish its
purpose, as to daub itself in infamy and
fraudulcntly and forcibly take the votes of
three states. The integrity of the south
broken, the republicans hoped to strengthen
their weakening grasp on the country, but

tion was such as 10 entirely cast off the
bonds Of their odious and autocratic admin

helm.
In Georgia, more than in any other south
ern state, theprohibition question has taken
Il prominent part in the interest of the pub
lie. Our legislature wisely determined to
give TO each county the right of local op-
ton. This was an admirable solution of the
question, and was fully satisfactory to both
sides, as being democratic and Just. Be-
yond this neither side win go. Each COM
munlty will settle the question for itself,
and, like on all other local issues, will di-
vide; but when the democratic party calls
for the vote of the state il will get it, as it
will the vote of the south. Prohibitionists
and their opponents unite alike on their
fealty 10 the party. and We trust that the
day will never come when either side will
forget It's allegiance to the party to which
they both owe so much

The NntinnnI nnnI,s.

Comptroller of the Currency Trenholm
intimates in his report that the national
banking system must 20. This reminds us
that THE CONSTITUTION has frequently
made the same intiAation and has urged on
congress to take the necessary steps to bow
the system out.
There have been various schemes proposed
looking to the perpetuation of the national
banks, but the system under which they
operate is based on the national debt When
the debt is extinguiShed, the system will
cease TO exist. Bit the extinction of the
system will not preeipitate financial cata-
clysm. II congress will repeal the ten per
cent tax on circulation, the states will be
ready to charte, the national banks, and
their operations under state Fcharters and
with enlarged facilities will .be as safe and
as conservative as they are nov.

Tho southern spirit of independence.

The Boston Advertiser strongly COM
mends the action of Mrs. jefferson Davis in
declining to allow public fund to be raised
for her husband by certain enthusiastic adj
mirers.
Mrs. Davis, in the most sensible way
imaginable, explained to her friends that
the family already had sufficient property
to live upon and that in the event OF mis-
fortune she and her daughter were fitted by
their education TO earn their own living.
This is not the first time the members of
the Davis family have manifested similar
spirit OF independence. More than once a
movement has been started to present the
eX-president with handsome pecuniary
testimonial, but he has invariably declined.
The same line of conduct has been followed
by other iliustrious southern leaders since
the war, and, while several northern gem
erals and statesmen have been enriched by
the voluntary offerings of their friends, the
representatives of the lost cause have quietly
busted themselves in repairing their wrecked
fortunes, depending entirely upon their own
stout hearts and strong arms. This noble
spirit of independence speaks for itself, and
1t is not likely to be forgotten.

A Puzzling Question.

Senator Allison's proposition to prohibit
immigration of anarchists and foreigners
belonging to the criminal class opens a big
field for the investigation of our statesmen.
Possibly our government has the right
and the power to shut out certain races. 1t
appears to be reasonable that We should also
have the right to keep criminals out of the
country.
Taking this view of the matter, We now
come to the real difficulty at the bottom of
his business. Would it be the proper thing
for a free government like ours to erect a
certain standard of religious social and po-
litical beliefs, by which all immigrants must
be measured? Take such a''man as Prince
Krapotkm, for instance. He cannot be
classod rs a criminal He has never shown
a disposition to violently oppose any gov
eminent under which he has lived, and yet
ii is wen known that his opinions, ii worked
ont to their logical conclusions, would de-

against Prince Krapotkin would not be an
efficient safeguard unless il also included
men who were in favor of monarchy. If it

Farming in Georgia and Ohio.

We print in this paper the last of a series
of five notable letters.
Some one asserted in the Southern Farm
few months ago that thousand Georgia
farmers transplanted to Ohio, and keeping
up the Georgia methods, would in ten years
have a mortgage on the Ohio farms and the
farms themselves run down that thous-
and Ohiosfarmers transplanted to Georgia
farms, and pursuing Ohio methods would in
ten years have the Georgia farms well
equipped and well stocked, and would have
balances in the bank. This proposition
evoked considerable discussion.
Mr.. Glessner, editor of the Americas Re
corder, was raised on an Ohio farm. He
has studied the methods of farming in Geor-
gia. He agrees to neither of the above
propositions, but admits that there is some
truth in both. In the letters he has written
for us he contrasts Georgia farming with
Ohio farming. He shows that the Georgia
farmer has every natural advantage. Grass
grows as well here as it does in Ohio, the
winters are shorter, lands and labor are
cheaper, and the same industry, thrift and
intelligence will give fifty per cent better re-
suits in Georgia than in Ohio.
Mr. Glessner's text is-Grass. This, he
holds, is the keynote to our prosperity.
With grass comes cattle, and sheep and
hogs. With these comes more grass, richer
lands, the reclamation of old lands, diversi-
fed crops, and finer diaries, creameries and
cheese factories. Mr.. Glessner has been the
center of activity in grass, so to speak, in
Sumter county. By constant effefts he has
filed the fence corners and old fields of that
county with rich grass crops, and now there
is the best of home grown hay offered daily
on the streets of Americas for sale. Ten
years ago Sumter county sent thousands of
dollars for hay to the west. What Sumter
has done every other southern county
can do if they will heed the advice given
by Mr.. Glessner in his admirable letters.

equally necessary that We should exclude

When we once begin to lay down rules
controlling the political opinions of those
who desire TO enter our gates and cast their
lot with us, where are we going to stop?
Senator Allison's idea does not appear to be
practicable. Our plan in the past has been
to leave all men free to think, speak and act
until they violated our laws, and then We
have dealt with them as the interests of jus
tice demanded. This is the old way, and
perhaps it is wiser, safer and more efficient
than any untried plan. At present the re-
public is not in such imminent peril as to

Better Than Lightning.

One day in October two farmers drove into
the race course in a one horse wagon TO which al
high headed colt was attached, and announced
that they wanted to time him mile. A sulky wass
hired, horseman asked to hold the watch, and
one of the men said:
81 rather expect that colt will astonish YOU"
Eyes, you think he is fast, eh?''
'Well, the man got him of said he was the,
next thing to lightning / think he'll 30 down
to 2:1S, though he's never been on a track"
The horse was scored and started, and he came
under the wire in just 400.
Some powerful mistake there, mister" said the.
owner as he was given the time. 81 think he
needs the whip and a little yelling"
He told the driver to shake him up in lively
STYLE and the result was that the colt passed the
score on runaway. AT the first turn the driver
was flung off, and soon after that the sulky was
demolished, and the horse increased his pace. He
came around like a cyclone, and as he passed the
wire the owner looked at the time and shouted:
"Glory! Glory He's beaten the record! That
mile was made in PIP! The Teller never lied to me

The long expected decision of the federal
supreme court in the case of the Virginia
officials who We're committed for contempt
by United States Judge Bond, because they
obeyed the laws of their state, may be A
surprise TO those who hold the republican
view of the relations of the states TO the
general government, but Il will be no sur
prise TO old-fashloned democrats.
The facts Of the case have been made
public SO many times that the slightest
skeleton of a summary will now be suai.
cient Certain holders of the tax receiyo-
able coupons of Virginia brought suits
against state officers TO restrain them from
bringing actions in the courts Of Virginia for
The collection Of taxes in eases where ten.
uers had been made Of the tax receivable
coupons, and such tenders had been refused.
Gpon hearing the complaint United States
Su.'se BOND Issued an order restraining the
Naie officers from bringing such suits under
